Excuse the mistakes!!
"What you doing today?" Dex asked Nyla as he watched her get ready in her bedroom. "Witcho fine ass" he complimented slapping her ass.
"Ow" she whined. "And I'm going shopping with Sara and Treasure today"
Dex nodded his head. He reached into his pocket pulling out a wad of money. Nyla watched Dex quickly count money before placing it on the nightstands "Here"
"I don't need it-"
"Take the money, Nyla"
"Whatever, what you doing today?" She asked sitting at her vanity and going into her drawer full of wigs.
"Same shit, different day. You driving?"
She shook her head while carefully brushing her lace front 24 inch straight wig. "No Sarah picking me up in a few minutes"
Dex watched Nyla remove her scarf showing off her cornrows she did earlier this morning. "You really don't care how you look in front of me yo" he chuckled. Shrugging her shoulders, she continued to glue down her wig. Dex sat on her bed, watching the whole thing. "That shit ain't going no where" he mumbled, watching her do you edges. He laid back on the bed watched her run the flat iron through it. "I'm not feeling this"
"Feeling what Dex?"
"Getting all cute to go to the mall, who meeting you there?"
"My side nigga" she said, now gluing down her lashes.
Dex face twisted up as he stood up off the bed. He walking closer to the mirror eyeing her through the mirror. "Your who?" He questioned.
"My side nigga" she repeated while laughing. As soon as Nyla finished putting on her lashes, Dex snatched one of them off. "Dex!! Come on" she continued to laugh.
"Nah"
"Babe!!!"
"Who you meeting at the mall again?"
"Nobody, Dex please give me my lash back" she smiled.
"Yeah, thought so. Keep fucking with me, I'm snatching that wig off next time" he said placing the eyelash on the vanity.
She sucked her teeth, adding more glue to the lashes. "Boy bye!! You not touching my babies"
Once she was done, she added lip gloss to her lips and grabbed her phone off the nightstand. A text from Sara popped up. "They here" Dex looked out the window and sucked his teeth seeing Sara car sitting out front behind his. "Come on"
Stepping out into the hallway with Dex, Nyla looked back into the room making sure everything was clean. They walked downstairs and grabbed their coats off of the coat rack before stepping outside. As soon as Dex saw Sara and Treasure he gave them the finger and Nyla moved it.
"Yeah, fuck you too Dex!" Sara shouted from the window.
"I see you later, Aight" he said kissing Nyla lips.
"Yeah, I text you" she told him before walking to the car, hopping into the backseat while Dex hopped into his car.

"I am not wearing this dress" Nyla stated staring at her reflection in the tall body mirror in the dressing room. Trying on a black see through dress that only covered the breast with floral patches, she shook her head at the suggest her two friends picked out.
"Why not?" Treasure questioned from the fitting room next door. "It don't look right?"
"It's see through. You can see everything underneath" she answered. "Dex will go crazy if I even think about walking out the house like this" she continued turning around in the mirror checking the back. "My ass do look good through, thanks daddy"
Sara and Treasure started laughing together.
"Okay sis!!" Treasure added. "That's what I'm talking about"
"Treasure is the hype man of the group" Nyla laughed stripping out of the dress grabbing the blush silk dress.
"No, for real!!" Sara added while laughing. "Guys how about this one?"
Nyla and Treasure both peeked out from the curtain seeing Sara looking at her self in the big mirror wearing a strapless, green velvet bodycon dress that hugged her body tight, showing off her petite body.
"Oooh I love that Sara" Nyla complimented.
"Me too, that dress looks real good on you" Treasure added.
After trying on a few more dresses and shopping for another hour, the girls decided to go and get something to eat from the food court.
"Seriously guys what are we eating? I'm starving" Treasure pouted looking around the food court.
"I'm in the mood for Jamaican food, I want some jerk chicken" Nyla chimed in.
"Ooo that does sound bussin, let's go" Treasure demanded.
After they got their food, they sat down at a clean table and started to dig in while gossiping about the latest celebrity news. Sara felt eyes on her so she started to look around the food court seeing a group of young men staring and pointing at them.
"There is a group of boys staring at us a couple of table behind but don't make it obvious-" Before she could finish her sentence, Nyla and Treasure quickly turned around, looking behind them. "Wow" Sara scoffed, shaking her head with a small smile on her face. "Guys..."
"Oh shit they coming over here" Treasure chuckled, turning back around.
"Yeah cause you guys made it hot" Sara told them. "And the nigga in the front is looking at you Nyla" she chuckled.
"Oh god" she mumbled, rolling her eyes.
A few seconds later, the four young black men walked up to their table, sitting down next to Sara and the table next to them.
"Wassup?" One of them questioned, staring at Nyla.
"Hi" Nyla greeted sitting her back against the metal chair.
"Hey" Sara chimes in. "Can we help you?"
"We already know about you two-"
"Excuse me?!" Treasure questioned.
"Nah shorty" his friend chuckled. "He don't mean it like that, we just know ya fuck with Flaco and Khalil so clearly ya off limits"
"Oh, okay" Treasure answered nodding her head.
"But ya friend here..." He continued looking at Nyla. "What's your name?"
"Nyla" she answered with a small smile on her face. "What's yours?"
"Dontae but my niggas call me Tae"
"Oh okay"
The girls had to admit that the group of young men were very attractive. Nyla felt Sara kick her under the table but she ignored it as she stared into Dontae eyes. "You should let me get your number and take you out sometimes"
"I should?" She questioned with a confuse look written on her face.
"Yeah, you should" he answered licking his lips. "Shit you single right?"
Nyla shook her head. "Actually no, I have a boyfriend and he's...a little crazy" she told him.
His friends started laughing lightly, shaking their head. "Crazy how?" One of them questioned.
"Kill people crazy" she answered, nonchalantly.
Dontae stared at Nyla, thinking about what she said and didn't believe it. Neither did his friends. "Yeah aight, who? Cause we know who really about it around here"
"Deadass" his friend chimed in.
"No, I'm serious" Nyla told him. "He's crazy, crazy" he continued, hearing Treasure giggling next to her.
"What his name then? You keep saying the nigga crazy but not saying who he-"
"Dex" she said cutting him off.
"Dex?" He repeated. His friends tapped his arm, shaking their heads.
"Nah bro, it's over for you" one them stated.
"You fucking with Dex?" Nyla nodded her head. "Oh nah, fuck all that" he chuckled, standing up from the table. "Yeah, you right, that nigga crazy crazy, aight then have a good day ladies"
"Bye" The girls said at the same time. They couldn't help but burst out into laughter before going back enjoying their lunch.
After the mall, Sara dropped Nyla off home. She walked up the concrete stairs, stepping inside. "Grandma I'm home!" She shouted.
"I'm in the dining room"
Nyla removed jacket and her shoes before running upstairs placing her down on the bed. She went back down entering the living room, seeing her grandmother doing a puzzle at the dining table.
"Ooh a puzzle" she smile. "Can I join?"
"Of course"
"How many pieces?" She questioned sitting down next to her.
"A thousand, I got it from Barb, we traded puzzles"
"Oh that's nice" she smiled, placing the pieces together.
"I spoke to your father today"
"Oh really?"
"Yeah, he said you haven't been talking to them lately and wants to know what's been going on with you"
"I just been dancing a lot. I'm also hanging out with Sara and Treasure more I just be forgetting to call them" she said. "But I'll call them tomorrow"
"Please do Nyla, they would love to hear from you"
"I will Grandma"
"Did you tell them about Dex?" She questioned and Nyla shook her head. "Are you ashamed of him?"
"No, it's just..." she sigh heavily. "I know Dex isn't the type of guy they want me with but I can't help how I feel about him" she smiled. "He's different but all they will see is a thug"
"I like him. Thug and all"
Nyla started laughing. "Grandma"
"I'm serious. I can tell he makes you happy"
"He does, a lot. It's never a dull moment with him. Even when we argue, we can never stay mad at one another for too long"
"Do you see yourself being with him forever?"
She shrugged her shoulders. "I don't know I mean we only been together for three months who knows what the future holds for us you know what I mean?"
"Mhmm I hear you baby"
After a few hours of working on the puzzle, Nyla helped her grandmother cook dinner. They ate, cleaned up and got ready for bed.
She took a hot shower letting the water soothe her aching muscles and feet. Stepping out, she grabbed her towel, she dried off and wrapped it around her body before heading to her bedroom to get dress.
Nyla began to rub lotion her body and slip on something sexy and comfortable. Burgundy velvet booty shorts with matching tank top. She took a few sexy pictures in the mirror, sending them to Dex. As soon as she laid down in bed, he started to FaceTime her.
She accepted his call, waiting for it to connect. "Why you stay teasing me for?" He questioned.
She giggled, watching him lick his lips. "What you doing?"
"Nothing smoking" he answered taking a pull from the blunt. "How was the mall?"
"It was nice, some guy name Dontae wanted to take me out and the minute I told him I'm with you he walked away"
"Yeah cause nigga's know wassup. I shoot first and ask questions later" he responded. For the next couple of seconds, they sat in silence. Dex watched Nyla lips slowly turn into a frown. "What's wrong?"
"Nothing..."
"Why you lying for?"
"It just I feel like I put in the most energy reaching out to my parents. Phone works both ways, why do I have to call them? They never call me"
"What happened? Who got my baby mad?" He questioned relighting his blunt.
"I'm not mad I'm just annoyed..." Nyla vented to Dex about her parents and how they treat her. "I'm the child, I shouldn't have to go out my way to always call and make sure my parents are good" she continued. "Am I wrong for feeling like this?"
Dex shook his head, taking another pull from his blunt. He blew out smoke before speaking up. "Nah, you not wrong at all"
"I'm just..." she sigh, rolling her eyes feeling tears coming to her eyes.
"Don't stress it aight"
"It's just annoying Dex" she sniffed, wiping her eyes. "They are so selfish. They don't even call me on my birthday or even remember it but I'm supposed to call them and let them know what's going on in my life?"
"You have every right to feel how you feel and you don't even have to explain shit to nobody. You grown. Stop crying, aight"
She nodded her head wiping the tears away. "I'm not trying to cry about it I just want them to at least show me they care about me"
"You need to smoke, I'm about to come through"
"Dex no I'm fine I swear"
"Too late, I be there in like fifteen minutes" he said hanging up before she could respond.
Nyla wiped her face as she stepped out of bed. She quietly opened her bedroom door and crept down the hallway to the bathroom. She washed her face with warm water and dried it with a clean towel.
She walked back to her room and laid down waiting for Dex to text her. Twenty minutes later, her phone lit.
Come outside
She read Dex text message and smiled. She leaned over and looked out the window seeing Dex car sitting out front. She jumped out of bed and through on sweatpants, socks, a hoodie and ugg boots before leaving her room and quietly walked downstairs to the front door throwing on her coat.
Unlocking the door, she walked down the steps and got into his car. "I already got it rolled up for you, that's why I came a little late" he said lighting up the blunt. He took a pull and passed it to her.
As she smoked, she felt the effect of the weed take over her body, relaxing her mood. "You feeling better?" He smirked watching her body sink into the seat. She nodded her head with a smile on her face. "I knew you needed that shit but yo..." he called out getting her attention. "Don't let this shit stress you out. Keep doing what you doing. If they don't see you..." he continued shrugging his shoulders. "I do"
"Awww babe" she smiled with red, glossy chinky eyes.
He chuckled. "You high as hell"
Nyla giggled, leaning closer kissing his lips. "Can we get food after this?"
"Of course, you know I got you"
"Thank you"
"It's nothing Nyla, what you trying to eat?"
"I don't know let's go to the corner store instead and get snacks"
"Aight" he responded.
"Thank you Dex, for everything. You always there when I need you" He smiled watching her take a long pull from the blunt. "Here, I'm high right now. I can't handle anymore"
He chuckled, taking the blunt from between her fingers. "That last pull did it to you" he teased making her laugh. "Gotta slow down playa, you can't stomp with the big dogs yet"
"Shut up" she laughed, giving him the middle finger.
